Winners of September 2016 Photo Contest are here!

Our trekkers made good use of the September-October window and captured the Himalayas in all its colourful glory. Clear skies lifted the curtains off from snow-clad peaks, and our trekkers were in front seats for that display of grandeur! Each entry took us back to the trails from the armchair of our office.

For this month’s photo contest we have 3 winners chosen by our judge Divas Mishra and a special “Trekkers’ Choice Prize” chosen by you!

Congratulations to all the great photographers! Keep trekking and keep inspiring us with lovely pictures!

TREK PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE MONTH!

Chandratal is a freak of nature. A beautiful, still lake that you will not expect to find against the barren backdrop of Spiti. And this long exposure shot brings out the calmness perfectly. I would love to know what time of the day this has been taken. Brilliant shot and a worthy winner!

This reminds me of a shot by the legendary Austrian climber Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner , taken after summiting K2. In that shot, the shadow of K2 stretches far into the Shaksgam Valley in the north and crosses the horizon. While this shot is basically the same but from a lower elevation. Good thinking!
